The moment the Clear Sky Hammer collided with the beam cannon, Tang Hao's tiger's mouth split open, and blood seeped from the corner of his lips.

The massive Clear Sky Hammer nearly flew out of his grip.

Qian Xunji was, after all, a Titled Douluo, and this was his Ninth Soul Skill; Tang Hao, having exhausted every means, barely managed to withstand it.

The consequence was that the head of the Clear Sky Hammer shattered outright, leaving him pale and listless.

But that wasn't the key point—the key was Ah Yin, whom Tang Hao was shielding behind him, and the infant in her arms.

The Heavenly Curtain deliberately zoomed in on the mother and child.

"Everyone can clearly see that, facing Qian Xunji's Ninth Soul Skill, Tang Hao was obviously unable to hold out."

"In fact, the only reason Tang Hao could take this hit without using Ring Explosion was that Ah Yin helped him a great deal from behind."

"But here's the key: when Ah Yin was helping Tang Hao, she forgot about the child in her arms."

"At this moment, her real child had just been born. Although Ah Yin protected the area, the fragile infant simply couldn't withstand the shockwave from Qian Xunji's explosion."

"In truth, at this very moment, the real Tang San was already dead!"

As these words fell, Tang Xiao's entire body trembled.

The real Tang San had been killed by the shockwave?

That didn't add up—wasn't it that the Otherworldly Tang San, carrying memories from a past life, had been reincarnated as Tang Hao's son?

Otherwise, how could they explain Tang San's two martial souls, Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer?

"Look closely at the expression on the infant's face in Ah Yin's arms. See—when the shockwave hit him, he clearly shuddered once and then stopped moving entirely."

After the Heavenly Curtain finished speaking, the scene shifted. A strange white light suddenly appeared at the edge of the sky.

Then, after scanning the surroundings, this strange white light flew straight toward Ah Yin's arms and merged into the infant's body at the forehead.

"See? Didn't a strange white light suddenly appear in the sky and enter the baby's body?"

"In truth, this strange white light was the soul of the Otherworldly Tang San. After the real Tang San died, he directly occupied this body, seizing it."

The scene rolled again. Sure enough, after the white light merged, the infant in Ah Yin's arms showed expression once more, even starting to squirm, as if adapting to his new body.

Faced with this, Tang Hao and Ah Yin in the scene noticed nothing.

"One has to admit, Tang San's timing for the seizure was perfect, as if it were fated."

"He happened to encounter the battle that killed the real Tang San, leaving him with an infant body perfectly suited for adaptation."

"And Tang Hao and Ah Yin, caught up in their fight with Qian Xunji, didn't notice the process of his seizure."

"Just like that, Tang San successfully seized this genius body with Twin Martial Souls, laying the most crucial foundation for his future as the Sea God and the Asura God."

As the Heavenly Curtain's voice slowly faded, the entire Douluo Continent was plunged into deep shock.

Yu Xiaogang murmured in disbelief, "Little San really did seize this body."

Beside him, Flender's expression was equally grave. He swallowed hard:

"There's actually something like this, and I never expected that the wife of Tang San's father, the Clear Sky Douluo, was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast reincarnated as a human."

When Flender thought of this, he abruptly turned toward Zhao Wuji. Likewise, Zhao Wuji looked back at Flender.

The two stared at each other, faces full of existential doubt.

"No!"

As the man who had once been personally beaten into a pig's head by the Titled Douluo Tang Hao, and as the one who had witnessed Zhao Wuji being beaten into a pig's head, the two of them had personally seen the soul rings beneath Tang Hao's feet.

Tang Hao's Ninth Soul Ring was a genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Add to that the fact that Tang Hao's wife was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and what Yu Xiaogang had said—that Tang San had only ever had his father Tang Hao by his side since childhood, with his mother always missing without a trace.

This... this... the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

Could it be that Tang Hao had personally killed his wife and taken her soul ring?

On the other side, the strange atmosphere among Tang San's Shrek group also turned heavy and eerie.

Except for Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai and the others all distanced themselves from Tang San, eyeing his body with wary looks.

They had snapped out of their earlier daze and were gradually realizing the abnormality in Tang San.

Tang San wasn't himself—he was a seized body.

This fear, for those hearing it for the first time, instinctively bred terror and dread.

But not for Xiao Wu.

To Xiao Wu, whether Tang San had seized the body or not, as long as he was the one who had grown up with her since childhood, the one who could help her take revenge, that was enough.

Besides, she too had hidden her own secret. Speaking of which, her third brother's mother had also been a soul beast.

This is truly a stroke of fate!

Now, perhaps Tang San's father would have no reason to oppose her relationship with Tang San.

As for Tang San himself, after personally witnessing the Heavenly Curtain lay his entire life bare for all to see, he was practically fuming with rage.

Was this Heavenly Curtain even human?

It had even broadcast the complete details of his past life and how he had come to this Douluo Continent.

Even he himself wasn't as clear about these matters as the Heavenly Curtain!

And on top of that, the Heavenly Curtain had revealed that his drunken, worthless father was actually a Titled Douluo.

Thinking of this, Tang San felt no joy whatsoever, but instead sank into deep terror.

Since Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo, then all the things Tang San had secretly done as a child, Tang Hao must have seen them clearly.

Even his practice of the supreme technique of their Tang Sect—had Tang Hao seen that too?

Article 139 of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Anyone who secretly learns the sect's techniques deserves death.

No, no—now the Heavenly Curtain had exposed that Tang San had actually seized the body of Tang Hao's true son.

So then, the one who deserved death was actually Tang San himself?

At this thought, Tang San's heart went cold.

He... he didn't want to die yet!

On the other side, Tang Hao shared the same feelings.

This father and son, bound by blood in name, could be said to be fellow sufferers in the same plight.

When the naked truth was laid before Tang Hao, he couldn't bring himself to accept it.

He simply refused to believe that the son he had raised for so many years was not actually his son.

The truth was that a middle-aged man had seized his son's body, then played the part of his son every day, calling him "Father."

At this thought, Tang Hao's heart felt as if it were being twisted by knives.

The pain—it was too much to bear!

But this wasn't even the worst part for Tang Hao.

At that moment, the voice of the Heavenly Curtain, which had driven Tang Hao to despair, rang out again:

"But Tang San and Tang Hao, this pair of father and son, are quite a match—like fish seeking fish, shrimp seeking shrimp, and turtles seeking out big turtles."

"For instance, the incident where Qian Xunji captured Ah Yin and shook to death his own biological son—that was all orchestrated by Tang Hao."
